A New Star in the Firmament


Fortune-tellers said

that there's a new star in the firmament,

that if I close my eyes,

and listen to my heart,

I'll see her,

that everything a man asks for is in this star.



Fortune-tellers said

that I could only perceive her with my heart,

that I should never try to use my eyes,

that the star does exist,

that I should trust her,

for she'll guide me

for the rest of my days,

but that, first and foremost, I have to believe in her.



Fortune-tellers said

that there's a new star in the firmament

that asks for me,

and that I should see her,

but I'm afraid of her,

for my heart is so sensitive

that it could be shattered.



Fortune-tellers said

that there's nothing to be afraid of,

that I should trust her,

but my heart is in a mess.



Fortune-tellers said

that I should close my eyes,

and listen to my heart,

and then I'll see her!



Now I'm closing my eyes,

and listening to my heart.

Now, I can see her!

Now, a bright light is shining in my heart,

for I've found her.

 




This is for those who have their stars in the firmament.
